So looking forward to the Easter long weekend. The perfect time to bring out this adorable sleeping bag, knitted by my Nana almost thirty years ago 🐰

Wandering outside & touching leaves while waiting for Ben to get home from work and dinner to finish cooking in the oven. We had a really good day, thanks in large part to my mum. And this suddenly summer-like weather. And this beautiful boy. How does his head smell so good? And my big girl, whose sweet, clever & thoughtful ways make my heart burst. Feeling tired and full and just really happy.

You leave it for a few days and it adds up, doesn’t it? Walt is suddenly into everything. With all his might he tries to launch out of my arms and grab whatever he can - the washing I’m hanging out, the meal I’ve grabbed from the freezer to defrost, the fridge door I’m closing or the tea bag dangling from my cup. He’s trying to crawl and finding it challenging and tiring and frustrating and exciting. And all this mind and body expansion, well, it’s causing a lot of restless sleep. I’m tired. Words escape me and my mind feels empty a lot of the time. I need a long block of sleep. Maybe tonight I’ll get one. Right now he’s asleep in the baby carrier and I’m going to fold this washing, listen to a podcast and eat chocolate, while Joan plays with my mum.

We had some @meandervalleydairy double cream in the fridge that needed to be used by tomorrow (I intended it for a cake recipe - alas, that never happened), along with some poached quince from my mother. So, this morning I suggested to Joan that we make quince + berry crumble, using frozen blueberries and raspberries. She was, unsurprisingly, enthusiastic about the idea. Served with heaping tablespoons of cream, it was an exceptional Monday breakfast. The recipe for this berry crumble is in my blog. It’s very loosely adapted from @sniequist’s great recipe that uses oats, almond meal, nuts, salt, olive oil & maple syrup in the topping.

I just really liked the way those broken egg shells looked.

Savoury tarts like these make me think of long family lunches at my parents' house. My mother introduced them to me, you see, and I am forever indebted to her for doing so. The recipe is deceptively simple and the end result stunningly scrumptious. Thanks, @kabbles 😘 You can find the recipe for these mushroom & creme fraiche tarts over on @abclife 📷 @timothygrey

“You’re my best buddy, Wo Wo”. Unless one of her grandparents is here. Then he is banished to the bedroom. The other day I mentioned something about a tape & Joan asked me what I was talking about. How strange that she won’t grow up using them. Before long car trips I would place a tape recorder beside our tv & record my favourite movies, so I could listen to the audio on my cassette player. I know that Joan would have done the same if she were a child of the 80s/90s. How fitting that soon after our conversation this super cute outfit for Walt arrived in the mail (a gift from @anarkid__ - thank you! 💛)
